Siglent SDS1052DL Digital Storage Oscilloscope

The Siglent SDS1052DL is a 50MHz, two-channel, digital storage oscilloscope with a hardware frequency counter, a 500MS/s per channel sample rate, a 32kpts per channel record length, and advanced triggers for electronics applications such as product design, assembly lines, repair and servicing, and electrical engineering education, among others. It has Edge, Pulse, Video, Slope, and Alternative triggers and its math functions include FFT (fast fourier transform). Additional specifications include a rise time of 7.0ns and vertical sensitivity to 2mV per division for capturing low-level signals. Operating menus and help display in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Arabic, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Italian languages. The oscilloscope has RS232 and USB ports for communication, and a 7" color TFT-LCD (480 x 234 pixels) with an internal 8 x 18 division grid for viewing waveforms.

Oscilloscopes are electrical testing devices used to verify the functionality of an electrical signal generator. Oscilloscopes measure an electrical signal over time, and display the waveform signals in a visual graph. The waveform shows the sweeps (or refresh) of voltage on a vertical (Y) axis, and can display time on a horizontal (X) axis. Details of a waveshape demonstrate the signal over time. Oscilloscopes can display in a digital or analog view. An analog oscilloscope has continuous waveform display, typically in a luminous phosphor. Some oscilloscopes can display more than one channel and type of measurement simultaneously. Some oscilloscopes can capture waveform signals to memory, and recall them. Oscilloscopes may provide real-time intensity grading. Some oscilloscopes have the ability to adjust frequency of display. A constant image will display if a signal is shown at a high frequency. Oscilloscopes can be powered with batteries or electricity, or may have a built-in generator. They may have Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or European Conformity (CE) certification, or a specific category (CAT) safety rating, such as CAT5e. Oscilloscopes are commonly used for testing, measuring, and inspecting in science, engineering, telecommunications, automotive, and industry applications.
